AOL TV Fate Founded Defunct Products Parent Dumped by AOL TV servers June 2000 2002 IPTV AOL
AOL TV was the name of both a thin client which uses a television for display (rather than a monitor), and the online service that supports it, both of which were launched in June 2000 to compete with WebTV.
The product and service were developed by America Online. While most thin clients developed in the mid-1990s were positioned as diskless workstations for corporate intranets, AOL TV was positioned as a consumer device for web access. The service is no longer supported by AOL as the documentation has been dumped by their servers.It has been closed since 2002.
